Every user post office over the past few weeks wedged up and the dying
message was 'mbuf map full'. None of them had been up for more than 4
weeks, and in the case of po3 last night, it had barely been up for
two since its last wedge.

Questions: was this a "known" problem in 7.2R? If so, is there a fixed
version of the 7.2R kernel available? How many mbufs must be allocated
before the machine tosses its cookies (how can I detect this before it
occurs)?
